Carry Me Ohio (monograph) | Publisher: Sturm & Drang | Run: 600 copies
The first volume of The Invisible Yoke, Carry Me Ohio, by Matt Eich hit the presses of the Swiss publisher, Sturm & Drang this September (2016). Carry Me Ohio is the first of three small-run volumes the notable publisher and emerging photographer have committed to producing together. In the words of Sturm & Drang :
Matt's eight year investigation into family, poverty and the ravaged beauty of the Ohio hinterlands will be published . . . just in time for an election that talks much about the people left behind without offering much in terms of a strategy how to help them. Eich's honest look gives those people a face and tells the story from their vantage point.
Copies of the book will be available at jdc Fine Art, from Sturm & Drang, and with select fine booksellers beginning this October.

Kilimanjaro: The Last Glacier
Work in progress by Ian van Coller
Climate change has become a common buzz-word, but the layman understanding of it is both rudimentary and intangible. Ian van Coller intends to bridge the gap between art and science and transform this issue into a form we can grasp- literally. Van Coller has received funding from the Montana State University for an artist's book and photo-project on the subject- Kilimanjaro: the Last Glacier. This August (2016) van Coller will join a team of scientists and researchers funded by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the National Geodetic Survey who are working to record as much significant data from the ice-sheets as possible. This project is both a reflection on climate change and the study of deep time.

Shown: Zorro by Guillermo Srodek-Hart
Most real Artists survive on too little patronage, and most real Collectors engage the practice as an art form in itself. Collecting is a way to express personal philosophy. The Artist represents things Millennials champion: an unfettered voice, the hand made|locally produced object, the freedom of individualism, and quest for self-awareness.

Shown: Sheila With Black Hair
As we open our new exhibition, Sheila With Red Hair, by Los Angeles-based Artist, Marjorie Salvaterra, we take a moment to look back at this gallery-produced interview. In the discussion, the artist reflects on HER, an earlier body of work that exhibited at jdc Fine Art, the Griffin Museum, and screened at the Musée de l'Élysée's Nuit des Images in 2014. Viewers can immediately connect to the woman behind the lens, and pick out structural and thematic ties between the old HER series and the new Sheila With Red Hair series.
Join us for the Artist's Reception & Book Signing for Sheila With Red Hair on June 18 from 6-8 pm | Contact the Gallery to RSVP
